Reviews

Author and researcher, William A. Sampson brings to light the reality that Black and Latino children are challenged daily to succeed in life. The themes that run through the stories of the children in this book will inspire solutions for positive influences by educators, mothers, fathers and each of us for the future of our children. The acceptance of suffering children has allowed the repeat cycle of intergenerational poverty, fragmented families, father absence, and the failure of our children and their future. As William A. Sampson reveals here, accepting the challenges of fathers, mothers, and role models to provide aspirations for their children can no longer continue. Narrowing the Achievement Gap is a must read for parents and leaders. -- James C. Rodiguez, CEO and president, Fathers & Families Coalition of America
